This Memorial Weekend has been beautiful. It's been very difficult for me, but I'm so grateful there is one day a year when the rest of the world "remembers". I will never, never forget my li'l princess. She is my hero. She is my inspiration. Everything I do, I dedicate to her. She makes me try my hardest to be better today than I was yesterday.
I am building a garden in my parents backyard, in her honor.
I am exercising EVERYDAY in her honor. I'm doing for her what she couldn't do for herself.
I am doing my best to serve those around me, in her honor.
I am being the best wife I can, in her honor. This girly loved her Daddy. I love her Daddy too, with all my heart. I have always wanted to be the best wife possible, she has just inspired me to try HARDER. I know she wants Mommy and Daddy happy.
Until my last breath, my life is in her honor.
I will never forget.

I have been thinking about you over this memorial weekend a lot. I will too always remember your sweet little girl, for she touched my life in a way I've never experienced. She inspires. You inspire. Her "place" looks beautiful, surrounded with beautiful flowers. How happy she must be to have you as her mommy. :)
BEAUTFUL POST!!! There are many of us that will never forget her. I love the headstone you created, it's PERFECT!!
Thinking of you guy often.
What a sweet tribute to your beautiful Mercydez.
Hey Ash, you guys made a beautiful memorial to Mercy....as I wrote on Addy's blog, the girls and I stopped by yesterday to visit her. It was a beautiful day, so serene and pretty.... we talked a bit, told her our prayers, and gave her kisses. We love her and miss her. We love you and Nic, too. I am sure that Mercydez is so proud of you.
Love always,
Christy
I love you guys! Thank you for sharing your beautiful little girl with us. It must have been a very difficult weekend for your family. What a beautiful headstone. I love the personal touches. Thank you for being you. You also inspire me.....Love you guys!
You are such an inspiration. It is not fair to have to go where we do to see our little ones. I hope I can be much like you in my quest to heal my heart and my soul.
I love Mercy's grave headstone. You added the perfect little touches in the cement. You are so inspiring! You are going through such a difficult time and you remain so positive. What a beautiful tribute to your princess!
Such a beautiful marker for her and such a sweet tribute for her. Memorial day is very sacred for our family too.
Your post puts Pres. Hinkley's motto of try a little harder to be a little better in the proper perspective.
What a darling headstone for Mercy! I am glad you enjoyed your day!
One word: Beauty.
Beautiful, that is such a great way to remember your princess. The pictures and post are just priceless.
And you honor her so well. She came to the right family. Of course ;)
thinking and praying for you! Thanks for sharing your feelings. I love the headstone. It is Perfect for such an amazing girl that continues to inspire all that knew her from close and afar.
Hi Ashley! you don't know me but I was given a link to your blog by Jana from the meanest mom blog. You were selected as one of the deserving moms to receive a jewelry set from The Pretty Kitty. Would you please e-mail me at theprettykittyonline@gmail.com I just need to get your mailing address and give you the details. Thanks! -Marianne
I love her headstone. Very touching and beautiful!
In the midst of trying to be perfect, remember that you are human and she understands that! I think sometimes we allow ourselves to put WAY to much pressure on making sure we cross every "t" and dot every "i" so we can be reuinted that we forget that there are lessons for us to be learned on earth and some of those lessons can really stretch us, so don't give up when it seems like it's hard, just know you are growing :0)and she is cheering you on.
You guys are amazing and I look forward to getting to meet up with you the first time I see her cute and wonderful headstone.
